Of course as we approached the ‘American Narrows’ area of the St Lawerence, a big ship appeared ‘upbound’. We decided ‘discretion is the better part of valor’ and pulled out of the channel to linger while she went by.
Big shout out for AIS (Automatic Identification System)! All (most) commercial shipping has to have it and we have it on Aisling as well. It transmits the ships location, speed, bearing…. which allows us to ‘see’ these big guys way before they are visually apparent. This morning we ‘saw’ a Canadian Ice breaker approaching us at Alexandria Bay. Very cool looking ship which somehow we did not get a picture of…. you can google it: ‘Pierre Radisson’.
